Full Moon Nightmare

I HATE full moon nights! I just do. According to a superstition, sleeping under a full moon is bound to bring on nightmares. I NEVER believed that. The moon is supposed to have an influence on us in some way, at least that is what I've heard.

Every full moon night, it's the same freakishly disturbing dream over and over again. It starts off in one place- the same place every time. The place is safe for the moment and I have a sense of belonging. After that, it escalates into a nightmare. Things go bad pretty quickly.

The worst part is waking up and thinking about it the whole day. The 'safe' place is what really irritates me. In my dream I have knowledge of where it is and what it means. I am familiar with it and know everyone who is there. But when I wake up, I have absolutely no idea where that place is. I have seen it before.

The logical part of me disagrees though. Dreams are supposed to be a culmination of thoughts and memories stored in the subconscious. They are the result of things that haven't been fully processed in the brain and are just pieces of a puzzle.

So it's completely frustrating to wake up and wonder which pieces were used to create that place that  draws me in even after I've woken up. More importantly, why do I only see that place on a full moon night?

Cannot wait for that dream to fade into total oblivion.
